I'm not a fan of polished/chrome wheels. I think it distractes the eye from the car. I can see it on an otherwise boring car, but not an STI.

Chrome wheels are forbidden on STi's. Let's keep it that way please.

Someone actually polished/chromed the stock wheels last year, I think. Been a while. If you search thoroughly, that thread is running around somewhere.

i know the look is basically the same , but chrome plating ftl big time. getting them polished would be cool. then hit em up with a tinted clear like the advan sbc color and some 20- 25mm spacers
